"Denise Bissonnette does not simply dust off and present the old standbys in employment training, she moves beyond them to an entirely new approach to job development. An outstanding trainer, Denise immediately connects with her audience, opening new possibilities in the translation of theory to practice."

Mark R. Donovan, Executive Director

"My organization, which has 10 offices in a 9 county-wide area, uses only Denise's curriculum. We have trained over 300 customers (youth, welfare to work, older workers and WIA) using her materials. Each year I, as well as my staff, need another "shot" of Denise's spirituality and effervescence ..she is my "Alka Seltzer"!
